Meanwhile in Canada they load $2,000,000 worth of $2 coins in an intermodal container
and send it unescorted by rail from Winnipeg to Montreal.
Well, maybe they are a bit more cautious now. This I only know because it made the
news when said container went missing from the railyard in Montreal. The thing was
that this happened in 1996 (the first year that coin came out) so it's kinda hard to
unload 1,000,000 of those things without drawing attention to yourself. I believe the
guys that did it were caught about 9 months later having only unloaded about $75,000
worth. Apparently the same guys also had over $100,000,000 in counterfiet banknotes,
quite a lot of recreational drugs, and quite a few weapons also in their possesion when
they were caught.
